Keith Lawson contributed
the photos that are displayed within this and the next few pages. Originally
from the Lancaster area, Keith joined the White Fathers seminary at Blacklion
in 1958. He was therefore a contemporary of people such as Pat Shanahan (his co-ordinand), Michael Goodstadt, Tony Visocchi and
several others who feature in this collection.
(Included, also, are some photos that he took during his days as a White Father
missionary in Zambia. |

Mike Kelly revealed a talent with water colours during
his days at The Priory. Here here is painting the lough at Blacklion

Left : Brian Hoxley ('Oxo')
Strangely, Brian is not included in the official database
of UK and Irish students, though
Graham Hoxley is listed as being at Blacklion during
this period—who was also known as Oxo.
This person does not look like the Oxo that I knew at The Priory, however.

Eric Creaney writes (18/05/06) :
" . . . . . That is Keith
Lawson on the left, with Gerry Stones to his left
with the shock of hair. I think that could be Pat Mulvey's eyes
above
the Bishop's hat and Manus McGuire's head
half hidden to the right of the hat.
